Boateng called Mourinho to turn down Man United

FC Bayern München centre-back Jerome Boateng says he spoke to Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho and explained he could not leave the German giants.

Sky Sports reported in August that United and Mourinho were huge admirers of the central defender, though the 30-year-old held aspirations to win the UEFA Champions League and he felt he could not do that at Old Trafford.

In addition, Boateng said that French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain were also interested in his services.
